Marxe MIAs: Building Global Solutions to Global Challenges
Want to complete your undergraduate degree and get a Master of International Affairs all in five years? Talented and motivated students with a passion for learning about the world can apply to the Accelerated MIA (AMIA) program. If accepted, students can begin taking graduate courses–up to 24 credits–as an undergraduate and count them toward both degrees. The program requires a total of 141 credits, including all 45 credits of the Master of International Affairs (MIA) degree.
AMIA students choose among five “go deep” concentrations:
Global Security
International Nongovernmental Organizations
Trade Policy and Global Economic Governance
Western Hemisphere Affairs
Special Concentration (with the support of an advisor)
Marxe School advisors will provide accepted AMIA students with a curriculum map for completing both degrees. Accepted students can begin taking MIA courses once they have been accepted into the AMIA program. To gain more information about the BSPA program, email MSPIA.BSPA@baruch.cuny.edu, or make an appointment to speak with a team member.
*PAF 9270 is a required course in the MIA and is the prerequisite of PAF9271 and PAF 9272. In the accelerated programs, students can only waive PAF 9270 after they complete PAF3015, PAF3401, and pass a proctored Excel exam. If not, students must take PAF 9270 as one of the MIA Electives.
